HS is about as good as it gets for a necro soloing from 50-60. There's other spots where you can take advantage of charm undead too (KC, especially basement is the biggest one) though. Of course you can root rot or fear kite just about anywhere, but the XP and loot generally won't be as good as if you tuck into a dungeon somewhere and make the enemies do the work for you.
It sounds like you might just need to polish up your game in HS basement. It can be hairy down there until you figure it out, but when you do figure it out you shouldn't have any trouble getting on a role at 54. Without more info on how you were fighting down there, I'd say make sure you keep harmshield and feign death ready at all times, be mindful of pathers and respawn timers, and make the most of the room you have available down there while charming undeads and letting stuff beat each other close to death before you finish them off for full xp.
